Jessica Chastain Calls Out ‘Game of Thrones’ For Using Rape As a Tool to Empower Sansa Stark
Many "Game of Thrones" fans are angry the writers decided to use Sansa's rape as a reason for her self-empowerment. (https://www.indiewire.com/2019/05/jessica-chastain-game-of-thrones-rape-sansa-1202131930/)

This is even more fascinating than John August being credited for DS:
Dark Shadows actress Jessica Chastain on latest GoT episode: Rape not a tool to make character stronger
Actor-activist Jessica Chastain took a dig at the makers of Game of Thrones for justifying rape and sexual abuse for the evolution of Sansa Stark's character.

Has anyone in India even seen the DS pilot?! Though maybe they had seen it on YouTube...

Jessica Chastain Criticises GoT Dialogue, Says Rape Isn’t A Tool (https://www.shethepeople.tv/news/jessica-chastain-criticises-got-dialogue-rape-tool)
In this one she's referred to as "Dark Shadows actress Chastain". You have to wonder how many people are scratching their heads and wondering what that credit is. Though what's unfortunate is that if, say, they checked IMDb and discovered it's the '04 pilot, the pilot is no longer easily accessible on YouTube. As I said back when the pilot first showed up there, maybe it would actually attract Jessica Chastain (and Matt Czuchry) fans - but not when it keeps getting taken down...

The pilot is accessible on archive dot org, but I don't know if google shows that as an early search result.
Strange indeed that fabulous Jessica Chastain would be identified as "Dark Shadows actress" given how many high-profile projects she's done since then. I thought she was utterly mind-blowing in CRIMSON PEAK.
